The Ritz Apartments

I moved into a one bedroom apartment a little over a month ago and things have been great! The manager was very helpful in showing me the apartments (nice variety of floor plans), and after my move in has assured me to reach out whenever I need anything. The building is nice and quite. My apartment had new carpet and hardwood floors as well as new light fixtures. I am told the building is getting repainted on the inside and out in spring or early summer 2015 so it will look even nicer! I would strongly recommend the Ritz Apartments.

So far so good, the apartment is in a great location and we haven’t had any major issues. I can hardly see anyone in the parking or in the halls and the apartment complex itself is very quiet, can’t hear any of my neighbors noises. The problem for us is that we are across the street from the fire station so it is noisy sometimes. the up side is that if we ever have an emergency the firemen only need to walk across the street to our apartment. lol. The apartment has now cameras in the parking and as it is is very safe. everything needs a key to get in. the pool, the laundry rooms (one in each floor) and the gym.
The gym could be improved, the machines are outdated but it is better than nothing… The closets are spacious, the floor plans are nice and big compared to other apartments I lived in. Bruce the manager is super nice and takes care of things right away… People here are friendly and quiet.

Just moved into the Ritz almost a month ago. The manager, Bruce, is great — very helpful & accommodating. He made our move in process very smooth. I love our location — walkable & safe. Neighbors I’ve met have been friendly. The apartments are a great size — good closet space. The maintenance of the place is also great!

I don’t even know where to begin with this apartment complex!
Yes it seems like it’s a quiet building but please be aware of the fire department across the street! You can hear the siren going off every other hour!!! Yes they make you lose your mind!!!
Second is the apartments. They are old and everything inside of the apartments including the carpet, bathroom, blinds and sinks are nothing but crappy quality!
Now you may not care but let me warn you … when you are about to move out, no carpet cleaner can take any stains off of these carpets! This happened to us and while I asked for a professional cleaners to clean the carpets, they weren’t able to remove the coffee stain in the bedroom and though the stain was significantly small, they charged us 900 dollars as they stated the entire bedroom carpet needs to be changed! (This bedroom is also so small that my queen bed could barely fit in it)
The disgustingly crappy quality sink was chipped on a few different areas BEFORE we moved in and they had filled in the chips with some material. The white material eventually fell off (No I didn’t drop anything in the sink and no I didn’t use it as my chemistry lab!!!) They charged us $ 150 to replace the sink! (well, if they wouldn’t have installed such cheap appliances then they wouldn’t have chipped to begin with) and WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?
The blinds in the living room kept falling down and since the building was old, they weren’t able to replace them but they had to keep fixing them every now and then. I finally gave up and put them behind the couch. I was charged $ 20 for each blind replacement. REALLY???
The popcorn ceiling kept falling on the carpet (which I guess I could easily vacuum) but I hated having them all over my clothes in the closet! Thank god they didn’t charge me for the fallen ceiling pop corn!!!
I have been a renter for 12 years and I was able to collect my ENTIRE deposit back in the last two places I lived! after going back and forth with the management of The Ritz, I ended up OWING $ 261 on top of the $ 1000 deposit we never got back totaling $ 1261!

We have lived here for about six months now and we love it. The neighbors I have met have been nice. The building is usually pretty quiet and is very well maintained. For what we pay, we have a decent sized apartment, at least compared to where we lived before. The neighborhood is decent.
The manager, Bruce, is very friendly and very attentive. When we have had maintenance issues come up once or twice (nothing major, just an appliance issue), Bruce had someone in to look at it that day or the next day. It brings a lot of peace of mind to know that everything is so well maintained and that if something does pop up, Bruce will be on it!
